Automatic itune update question

sometimes there is a message that says there is a new version of itune that you can download. It asks if you want to download now or later and there is also a box that can be checked or not checked asking if this message should appear again. by accident i clicked that this message should NOT appear again but now I don't know how to update itunes. I think there is this option that says check for itunes updates under help but i would like to get the automatic message thing again. (it's just easier for me). Any help would be appreciated. THanks in advance.

  • Automatic iTunes update fails because of Vista x64?

    iTunes update fails via "Apple Software Update" on Vista x64, because the files that were downloaded are x86 and not x64! Is there a fix for this, or do we have to wait till an x64 version of "Apple Software Update" arrives?

    As a workaround, you could try downloading the update direct from the Apple website:
    Latest iTunes Installer
    (The website should automatically detect if you've got an x64, and download the 64-bit Vista installer. It will be called "itunes64setup.exe".)

  • ITunes Update Question.

    After updating to iTunes 11.1.2, I have a 2 symbol next to Movies.  What does this mean?  I have several very old saved movies in iTunes, but never say this 2 before.

    The movies have been watch several times.  That's why I was confused. The 2 just appeared after the upgrade to the new iTunes version. No big deal, just curious.

  • ITune Update Question

    I recently downloaded some music from CDs on my MacBook Pro (MAC 05 Version 105.8)  Now when I connect my iPhone 5 as well as my iPad Mini I get a message that they need iTunes version 11.1 or later before that new music can be added to them.  The message is for me to go to www.itunes.com to download the latest version of iTunes.  When I go to that site it indicates I have iTunes on both.  I know that but how do I get that update on each of them?

    You need to buy and install a Mac OS X 10.6 DVD; once it's installed, run the Software Update pane of System Preferences twice.

  • ITunes updates podcasts each hour but won't refresh. When I sync my iPhone, it gets yesterdays podcasts and I have to manually hit refresh to make it update. How can I make it automatically refresh?

    iTunes updates podcasts each hour but won't refresh. When I sync my iPhone, it gets yesterdays podcasts and I have to manually hit refresh to make it update. How can I make it automatically refresh?

    I think figured out what is going on here... If you have set your Windows OS time manually, Apple iTunes will not honor the time you set in Windows XP...
    In my case, I had not applied the Windows update that changes the Daylight savings rules. No big deal I thought... I can easily correct the time manually. Well... iTunes will not like it if you do that. You have to have your daylight savings rules set correctly on the PC. Microsoft has a free program called TZEdit that will let you adjust the DST boundaries.
    Once I set the rules correctly and then set my time keeping back to "Automatic" it fixed it. Hope this helps...

  • Check for itunes updates automatically

    Hi I'd like to roll itunes 7.02 out to my business users as we intend to deliver work related content via podcasts, but I'd like to standardise on a version.
    Is there anyway to uncheck the "check for itunes updates automatically" in the general preferences via the registry?
    I have looked can can't locate this setting but it must be there somewhere.
    Thanks in advance

    You have Synergy running? What happens when you don't have it running?
    Any utility, whether a widget, an application or whatever, that controls or gets status from iTunes has the potential to launch iTunes when you don't expect. The developers try to ensure it doesn't happen but it can still happen.

  • How to stop iPhone automatically disconnecting during an iTunes update?

    When I'm updating my iPhone on my brother's laptop or my grandfather's computer iTunes updates my iPhone well, but when I try to update my iPhone on iTunes on my computer, it will say "8 hours remaining" or during the "8 hour" update it will say that my iPhone has been disconnected during the update. I won't even touch the phone and this message would still appear. Can someone please help me because I really want to upgrade to ios 6 and this is the only thing that is in my way. Could this be a problem with my computer or my iPhone?
    Thanks, for future references

    Probably a slow internet connection where your at
    the update is very large (700mb ish) so it can take a very long time to download (roughly the sice of 250 mp3s for example)
    Best bet is to go somewhere where else with wifi (starbucks, mcdonalds, etc) and try the update there

  • Itunes 7.3 update question

    Hey! Should I download the 7.3 itunes update if I do not plan to purchase an iphone? Right now I have 7.1 (I think), I didn't download the update before 7.3.

    You go to add/remove programs on the control panel.
    I don't remember the exact name now I've removed it, but it is something like Apple Mobile support...
    It should be pretty obvious. The program also starts a new process with a similar name.
    You don't have to remove it.

  • RSS updating - Episodes in iTunes - many questions

    http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewPodcast?id=262855503
    First off, I am completely HTML stupid. I bought a mac, bought a .mac account and started making podcasts in garageband.
    Two nights ago I uploaded my fifth episode, just like the previous four. here's the link:
    http://web.mac.com/hobbzoid
    So, why hasn't iTunes updated my podcast in the store?
    Why won't it show all five episodes under the description?
    If you answer in code, I seriously won't know what you are talking about. I bought the .mac account to make everything really easy, and I want to see this podcast in the queue...
    thanks for the help.

    You forgot to include the link to the mp3 in your last episode.
    You are missing titles for all your episodes.
    You have a random <itunes:block> tag in your feed which could cause iTunes to block your whole feed.
    Your itunes category is out of date...try "music"

  • After installing the latest itunes update most of my music cannot be located. A box pops up and says the song cannot be found. What can I do?

    I installed the latest itunes update and now I can't play most of my songs. A box pops up that says it cannot be located and asks me if I want to locate it and when I click on Yes it gives me all my files on the computer (dropdown box) and I don't know how to find them. Some of my songs will still play.

    The "missing file" thing happens if the file is no longer where iTunes expects to find it. Possible causes are that you or some third party tool has moved, renamed or deleted the file, or that the drive it lives on has had a change of drive letter. It is also possible that iTunes has changed from expecting the files to be in the pre-iTunes 9 layout to post-iTunes 9 layout, or vice-versa, and so is looking in slightly the wrong place.
    Select a track with an exclamation mark, use Ctrl-I to get info, then say no when asked to locate the track. Look on the summary tab for the location that iTunes thinks the file should be. Now take a look around your hard drive(s). Hopefully you can locate the track in question. If a section of your library has simply been moved, or a drive letter has changed, it should be possible to reverse the actions. I can provide a step by step guide if you give me the two paths.
    In some cases iTunes may be able to repair itself if you go through the same steps and locate the lost track. It may then offer to attempt to automatically fix other broken links. Alternatively, as long as you can find a location holding the missing files, then you should be able to use my FindTracks script to reconnect them to iTunes.

    Having the same issue.. All of playlists were deleted as well as the majority of my music can't be located. It seems the only music that can be located is the music I have purchased directly through itunes/iphone.
    The location where itunes thinks my music file is:
    "file://localhost/C:/Users/MY NAME/Music/iTunes/iTunes Media/"
    The actual location where my music file is:
    "C:/Users/MY NAME/My Music/iTunes/iTunes Music/"
    This is weird because I have not moved my music and it was working fine before I upgraded to the new iTunes...
    My steps:
    1) update itunes to latest version
    2) plug in old phone take backup in itunes
    3) plug in new phone and restore from that backup
    I didn't notice the issue until I looked on my phone and all of music was missing from my phone along with playlists (minus the music I purchased directly from iphone/itunes.
    Then I looked in itunes in my music library and saw itunes can't locate my music files.  I also tried replacing the previous itunes library file as noted in the support link above but didn't do anything..
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!
    Thanks,

  • Problem After iTunes Update Installed

    Software Updates did its automatic check and I noticed the window on the desktop that said there was an update.  I looked at the details and I thought it said itunes update 10.6.3.  I read the details and installed it.  After it installed, I restarted the computer and befor the aple appeared but there was still the gray screen I did NOT hear the tone.  After about 30 seconds the apple appeared and the gear and it booted to the desktop.
    I looked at the version of iTunes by going to About iTunes and the moving box said (althought it was really small this time) but I checked it again and it said 10.6 (4.0).  However, I thought when the Updater said there was a newer version of iTunes, I thought it said version 10.6.3, with no paranthesis.
    I restarted the MacBook Pro again, and still there was no tone but the gray window was present for about 10 secs then the Apple, and it booted to the desktop.  I thought I should get a tone so I shut the MacBook Pro down and pressed the Power button to boot up in Safe Mode, but I did not hear the tone so I did not press the Shift key.  I checked the version of iTunes that was installed (assuming a newer version was installed) and it is 10.6 (4.0).
    I tured the computer off and tried to do a SMC Reset.  I turned the MacBook Pro of left for a couple hours, came back, plugged the MagSafe Adapter in and tried to boot up the computer, no tone heard, the gray screen appeared for about 20 secs, then the Apple, then the gear and it booted to the desktop.
    Something has been recently occuring.  when I plug in the MagSafe Adapter initially, next to the battery up in the menu next to the Bluetooth icon it says "Not charging" but after about 5 secs it has the charging sign in the middle of the battery.  Not sure if this is related or what.  I tried to do an SMC Reset when I saw this "Not Charging" when I plugged in the Mag Safe  but it did not change anything as far as when I plug in the Mag Safe Adapter it still initially says "Not Charging" for about 5 secs and then it goes away.
    I am concerned what to do about hearing no tone and the version of iTunes I thought it said it was going to install but when I checked About iTunes it says 10.6 (4.0)
    any help in this matter.  I am not the best when it comes to computer knowledge.
    thanks

    Your explanations have clarified some things (including one misconception I had from not reading your post carefully enough -- I thought you had "hard shut down" by holding down the power button, no in rereading your post, it sounds like you did not do that but rather shut down in an orderly way, that was my misconception).
    I too was not aware of the Magsafe Power Supply issues, but it sounds like you would be well off to use that settlement check to obtain a new one. Hopefully that will resolve the charging issues you saw. I work somewhere where there are literally hundreds of Macbook Pro and Air laptops, all with these Magsafe adaptors, and I haven't seen any such complaints, but perhaps yours was part of a bad batch, it sounds like you're not the only one. (I have seen such chargers just wear out after 4-5 years, but then they just stop working altogether, versus the "charging/not charging" business you were seeing.)
    I am going to surmise that none of the Magsafe issues have anything to do with iTunes because iTunes is just an application that is not related to the way the laptop charges. I suspect it is a coincidence that the iTunes update happened around the same time. The Magsafe behaviors probably would have manifested themselves even if you had not done the update.
    Is your sound working in iTunes? Do you still not have boot up sound? If the answer to both of these questions is yes, you may want to read this Apple article  http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1379  and consider doing a reset of your PRAM and/or NVRAM. I noticed that PRAM does control some sound settings and "attention tones" of the computer (which might include a startup tone perhaps).  Something to consider, it's hard to offer advice in these cases without being there in person to observe things. Good luck with all this.
    Before you do any resets on PRAM or NVRAM, do re-check your sound settings to confirm that the mute box is not checked. When my Macbook Pro mute box is checked, I get no startup chime also. You might consider checking the mute box, restaring, then unchecking it again just to see if that matters. One last thing -- some other posts in the Discussions involved Macs without a startup chime and people got their chime back after disconnecting or fixing a peripheral that was plugged in via USB or Firewire. I don't understand why that would be, but that is what they reported -- something else for you to consider.
